The streams Mehbach, Gronenbach, Hortelbach, Wallesbach, Glahrenfloß and Muhlenbach form the district boundaries to four neighboring towns.

history

The place name "Heisterberg" is derived from the Middle High German term "Heister" for "young beech". The second name "the wall" is justified in the literature with the presence of Roman settlement remains. A Roman road led past Heisterberg from the Waruswald ( Tholey ) to Bingen / Mainz . The first documented mention of the name "Heysterberg" dates from 1360. With a document dated July 7, 1360, the tithe of Heisterberg was transferred to Hesso von Esch (on the Liebenburg ) by the Archbishop of Trier and Elector Boemund II .

The place belonged from approx. 1328 to 1794 to the office St. Wendel and at times to the office Liebenberg in the electorate of Tier; from 1798 to 1814 to the Mairie Walhausen ( Saardepartement ), from the Congress of Vienna (1814/1815) to 1834 to the Principality of Lichtenberg (Duchy of Saxony-Coburg), from 1834 to 1920 to the Kingdom of Prussia in the Rhine Province , from 1920 to 1935 to the Saar area (under Administration of the League of Nations) and from March 1, 1935 to Saarland (twelve changes of administrative affiliation). The geographical location of the place formed the national border for centuries (partly until 1946).

On January 1, 1974, Heisterberg was incorporated into the municipality of Namborn.

Parish affiliation

A document from July 7, 1379 proves the affiliation of the place Heisterberg in the parish Wolfersweiler in the diocese of Trier and the parish of St. Wendel in the diocese of Metz. In the course of the reorganization of the dioceses in 1461/1464, with the parish of St. Wendel now moving from the diocese of Metz to the diocese of Trier, the place Heisterberg must have come to the parish of St. Wendel. In any case, the document of May 3, 1492 proves belonging to the new parish of St. Wendel. Archbishop Clemens Wenzeslaus (1768–1802) ordered the establishment of a second parish in the St. Wendel office on May 4, 1792, as the residents of 15 localities sometimes had to cover distances of more than five quarters of an hour. Nine places, including Heisterberg, now form the new parish of Furschweiler. After a parish had also existed in the neighboring village of Namborn since 1801/1803, Heisterberg asked for a parish change to the parish of Namborn. With the decision of the Bishop of Hommer (Trier) on October 9, 1835, Heisterberg was finally changed to the parish of Namborn, to which it still belongs to this day.
